Song lyrics

What's the difference between me and you?

What's the difference between me and you?


Back when Cube was rolling with Lorenzo in a Benzo

I was banging with a gang of instrumentals

Got the pens and pencils, got down to business

But sometimes the business end of this shit can turn your friends against you

But you was a real nigga, I could sense it in you

I still remember the window of the car that you went through

That's fucked up, but I'll never forget the shit we been through

And I'ma do whatever it takes to convince you

'Cause you my nigga, Doc, and Eazy, I'm still with you

Fuck the beef, nigga, I miss you and that's just being real with you

You see the truth is everybody wanna know

How close me and Snoop is and who I'm still cool with

Then I got these fake-ass niggas I first blew with

Claiming that they non-violent, talking like they—(Do not resist the beat)

Spit venom in interviews, speaking on reunions

Move units, then talk shit and we can do this

Until then, I ain't even speaking your name

Just keep my name outta your mouth and we can keep it the same, nigga

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors

It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em

That's the difference


What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting


Yo, I stay with it, while you try to perpetrate and play with it

Never knew about the next level 'til Dre did it (Yeah)

I stay committed while you motherfuckers babysitted

I smash the critics like a overhand right from Riddick (Yeah)

Come and get it, shitted on villains by the millions

I be catching bitches while bitches be catching feelings

So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

I pop bottles and hot hollow-points at each and all of you (Come on!)

A heartless bastard, high and plastered

My style is like the reaction from too much acid

Never come down, pass it around if you can't handle it

Hang Hollywood niggas by they Soul Train laminates

What's the difference between me and you? (What?)

About five bank accounts, three ounces, and two vehicles

Until my death, I'm Bangladesh

I suggest you hold yo' breath 'til ain't none left

Yo, that's the difference!


What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting


Alright, hold up, hold up!

Stop the beat a minute, I got something to say, Dre

I wanna tell you this shit right now while this fucking weed is in me (What the fuck?)

I don't know if I ever told you this

But I love you, dog, I got your motherfucking back (Right), just know this shit

Slim, I don't know if you noticed it

But I've had your back from day one, nigga, let's blow this bitch

I mean it dog, you ever need somebody offed: "Whose throat is it?"

Well, if you ever kill that Kim bitch, I'll show you where the ocean is

Well, that's cool, and I appreciate the offer

But if I do decide to really murder my daughter's momma

I'ma sit her up in the front seat and put sunglasses on her

And cruise around with her for seven hours through California

And have her waving at people (Hi!), then drop her off on the corner

At the police station and drive off honking the horn for her

Raw dawg, get your arm gnawed off

Drop the sawed-off and beat you with the piece it was sawed off of

Fuck blood, I wanna see some lungs coughed up

Get shot up in the hot tub 'til the bubbles pop up

In they nose and cough snot up, mucus in hot water

That's for trying to talk like The Chronic was lost product

That's for even thinking of having them thoughts thought up

You better show some respect whenever the Doc's brought up

So what's the difference between us? We can start at the penis

Or we can scream, "I just don't give a fuck," and see who means it


What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?

You talk a good one, but you don't do what you supposed to do

I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions

I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting


What's the difference between me and
